The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

We're all for small, dark bars, but Vero takes the concept to an extreme: The lighting is so dim that you'll literally bump into a few new friends in the narrow, bustling space--pleasant happenstance among this friendly, diverse crowd. Wine is the way to go here. Choose among 25 by-the-glass vinos like the Martinsancho Verdejo, a citrusy Spanish white. No matter that you won't be able to see what's in the glass--you'll just have to navigate by nose.
